Types of random variable Most rvs are either discrete or continuous, but • one can devise some complicated counter-examples, and • there are practical examples of rvs which are partly discrete and partly continuous. EXAMPLE: Cars pass a roadside point, the gaps (in time) between successive cars being exponentially distributed.
